Jennie Lynn Finch is 36 years old (birthdate: September 3, 1980).
Jennie has accomplished everything you can in softball. She has a four-year-old son, Ace, and her husband, Casey Daigle, is a pitcher with the Houston Astros. She's retiring from playing to have more time with her son and husband. With her playing and personal appearance requirements, it has made family-time difficult... which is important to her. Another factor that probably played into it is that softball is no longer an Olympic sport, so the motivation of playing another couple of years so that she could play in another Olympics was not there. I'm sure she will continue to be an ambassador for the sport and she probably has sponsorship deals that will continue as well.
She played for them from 2005 until she retired in 2010.
Jennie Finch is a retired American softball player who was known for her success as a pitcher, winning a gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics. She also played professionally in the National Pro Fastpitch league and has been involved in coaching and broadcasting since retiring from playing.

The best way to study the game of softball is to play it. After playing for 8 years, there was always something new for me to learn. As a strategy game, softball takes a few days to learn, but forever to master.
If you want to get back to playing softball, don't let the fact that you haven't played in a few years keep you away. Just sign up for the team and all of the things you have forgotten will come back to you at practice.
